Description
This property is not currently for sale or for rent on Trulia. The description and property data below may have been provided by a third party, the homeowner or public records.
Discover luxurious FiDi living at its finest in this stunning convertible three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom contemporary home featuring designer finishes and outstanding storage at Liberty Tower, an iconic New York City landmark.
Inside this pristine residence, 9-foot-tall ceilings are dotted with 53 European recessed light fixtures, while fourteen oversized windows facing east, south and west capture glorious sunlight all day long. Expansive art walls provide a museum-quality backdrop for your prized collection: All A/V wiring is neatly concealed, while crisp white paint and modern shadow reveal details add a truly modern ambiance. Custom radiator covers and large-format natural limestone flooring create a consistent design statement throughout.
A long gallery entry lined with floor-to-ceiling closets and plenty of room for a home office area invites you inside the home's T-shaped layout, providing two wings and infinite layout possibilities.Stretching over 51 feet long, the great room offers a generous footprint for living and dining areas alongside stunning views of the surrounding architecture and Zuccotti Park. Awaken your inner chef in the open gourmet kitchen, where custom glass and cherry wood cabinetry provides excellent storage space, and black galaxy granite coordinates beautifully with upscale appliances.
Head to the owner's suite to discover sunset outlooks, an oversized closet, and an en suite spa bathroom with a soaking tub/shower, Duravit commode, bidet and Hansgrohe fixtures. Off the living room, a Murphy bed/home office area boasts more closet space and direct access to another well-appointed bathroom. A powder room and in-unit washer-dryer complete the exceptional floor plan.
Currently configured as a lavish one-bedroom, this spacious layout can easily accommodate the addition of two more bedrooms (see alternate floor plan). With only two other apartments on the entire 8th floor, you'll enjoy remarkable peace and privacy in this one-of-a-kind downtown sanctuary.
Designed by Henry Ives Cobb and built in 1910, Liberty Tower rose above Lower Manhattan alongside the city's first crop of legendary romantic skyscrapers, including the Beaux-Arts-style Singer Building, Campanile-inspired Metropolitan Life Tower and the Gothic Woolworth Tower. A master of Gothic architecture himself, Cobb's distinctive design for Liberty Tower includes an elaborate terra cotta fa ade rising toward a copper roof encircled by opulent finials and figurines of gargoyles, eagles, lions and more.
Built initially as a speculative office building, 55 Liberty was first called the Bryant Building in recognition of editor William Cullen Bryant, who ran the New York Evening Post at this location for 20 years. By 1919 it had passed to the Sinclair Oil Company, which held the building until 1945. In 1979, Liberty Tower was converted to cooperative use by the architectural firm of Joseph Pell Lombardi & Associates.The building was designated a city landmark in 1982, added to the National Register of Historic Places the following year, and recognized with the Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award from the New York Landmarks Conservancy in 2010.
Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman and porter service, a live-in superintendent, a package room and an additional entrance on Liberty Place. Maintenance is 60% tax deductible and includes gas, water and radiator heat. Pieds-Ã -terre and subletting are permitted with board approval.
From this exceptional Financial District location, you're surrounded by some of the city's best shopping, dining, nightlife and entertainment, including the world-class offerings of Westfield World Trade Center, Brookfield Place and The Seaport, plus Whole Foods, TJMaxx and Alamo Drafthouse on the nearby blocks. The Battery provides wonderful waterfront outdoor space, and transportation is unbeatable with A/C/E, J/Z, 2/3, 4/5/6, R/W and PATH trains, excellent bus service, CitiBikes and the Wall Street Ferry Terminal all nearby.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a guardian of a current student at this school, this student is being bullied and none of the teachers are doing anything about it. It was already pretty bad that the teachers aren't doing anything about the bullying, but it is worse that the teachers did not let this student tell their family members about it because they say that it will make it a bigger deal. It is not alright for a teacher to tell their student to not call their parent because of it will ruin their school reputation. The teachers dealing with this problem says that they will be able to fix the problem but they didn't do anything. Now this student is afraid to go to school because the bullies threathens to jump this student and call their friends over to also bully and join in. Also, the bullies didn't get in trouble because the teacher said that he did not see it happen. This isn't the first time this student was bullied but the first time, there was at least one teacher that tried to solve the problem but she left so now this student is having trouble solving this new problem. As for learning, teaching, and other parts of reviewing a school, if students don't feel safe then they obviously would not feel motivated or excited about learning and other activities.Parent Review1y ago - Spruce Street School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is lacking in many areas. Don't be fooled by the new exterior. The biggest problem area of all is leadership which is very poor. The principal hides many issues such as bullying and other events that happen in the building that she continuously keeps from the parents. Teachers here don't take the time or even care to make subjects more interesting. Zero effort in class just for show when parents come around for 30 minutes twice the school year to sit in class. Repeating a lesson to them is an absolute hassle and the blame falls on the kids all the time. They don't strive to help, they want to leave as soon as possible. My kids came in 2017 and since being very excited about the teachers back at the beginning we have seen a huge decline in all the years up till now 2023. The music teacher has been replaced 3 times and the current one is still completely horrible, lacking any skill to teach at all. Students watch cartoon movies in class constantly! She gave a 20-minute recital with minimal effort on her part. It lacked substance and was a complete letdown and a waste of time to come in mid-day work hours. Years back at the beginning a recital concert was an hour long and the students learned a lot, that's back in 2017. The Art teacher has also been replaced 5 times. In the beginning, there used to be some type of art show but now Art at this school is none existent. The (PTA) keep asking for money and contributions but where it all gets spent is a complete mystery because they offer nothing of value for many years now! I absolutely would not recommend this school to anyone.Parent Review10mo ago
